The only change to the default behavior in 5.6.04 was a Hendrick approved fix for mode 3 written by HerbertH that he promised us. The code in Post #2 are varied submissions written on the old forum thread, collected by several people, and sent as an attachment to my email address. I posted them here so we can all look at them easily, and I can collect valuable feedback like your comments here

I will try to include it in the next experimental build (and I plan on at least 1 release per week). I consider this change to be "altering the logic of Phoenix" and not a pure "bug fix". Does this make sense?

My main "development goal" for releases is to come up with a "Stable" version of Phoenix even though it might not be as profitable as an "Experimental" build. Some people will probably run experimental builds on real data. I supported a company at a datacenter who had 20 machines with custom kernels running the 2.3.30-50 builds of the linux kernel. He wanted the features, he ran experimental code.

5.6.4 is intended to be a "stable" candidate. I will release experimental nightly builds while we work on a stable build - so both types of users will have the kind of code they want to run.
